Terry, Steve, Richard, et al, Have just had a bit of a fiddle with the head and have found that the exhaust valves on 4 and 5 ARE sticking open. OK fine. What do I do about that? If I have to take it to someone to get it fixed then I may aswell get them to shave the head while they're at it. Oh and as a matter of interest I did a leakage test on the head too. As in rotated the cam til both valves were closed on number x, then flipped the head and filled the combustion chamber with turps. Let it sit for a while and saw if the level of the turps went down. If it did then had a squiz in the intake/exhaust 'tubes' for signs of wetness. Found that there is small amounts of leakage from all comb.cham's. As in it would take approximately 5 mins to drain all the turps out give or take a minute. Most common is leakage through both intake and exhaust valves. At a guess i'm thinking that this is acceptable given that the combustion will also force the valve closed even more and that it would've taken 5 mins to drain out?.. or is it unacceptable? So yeah.. part of the problem found.. where to from here? Regards,
